Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jul-11-1967

Reported in: [1968]21STC378(Mad)

ORDERVeeraswami, J. 1. We have in this case come to the conclusion, for the reasons which will presently appear, that it should be allowed to the extent of a turnover of Rs. 27,735.58 and that the assessing authority will consider afresh whether this part of the turnover was included in a turnover of Rs. 80,615 brought to tax as constituting inter-State sales for which declarations in Form C have not been filed.2. The matter relates to the assessment year 1958-59. The assessee during the relevant period was a registered dealer both in the State of Kerala and this State, carrying on business in arecanut seeval.

He filed a return in Form I and his accounts which were checked, disclosed a turnover of Rs. 86,929.25. The ...

Bapu and Company Vs. the State of Madras

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jul-10-1967

Reported in: [1968]22STC17(Mad)

Veeraswami, J.1. This petition is directed against the levy of a penalty of Rs. 8,978 under Section 10(d) of the Central Sales Tax Act, 1956. The petitioner purchased electrical goods between 1st October, 1958, and 31st March, 1961, but under the C Forms in vogue prior to 1st October, 1958. As the law then stood, Section 8(3)(b) included in the C Form goods intended not only for resale but also for use in the manufacture of goods for sale or for use in the execution of any contract. This provision was amended with effect from 1st October, 1958, and under the amended provision, use of goods by the assessee in execution of any contract is not permitted. There is no dispute that the forms actually issued to the assessee were those in vogue, as we said, prior to the amendment. After the purchase of goods the assessee used them in execution of certain works contracts which he had entered into. On the ground that in doing so he contravened Section 10(d), the penalty was levied. The majority ...

Shansshia Oil Mills Vs. the State of Madras

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jul-10-1967

Reported in: [1967]20STC481(Mad)

ORDERVeeraswami, J.1. Only a single item of turnover among others was in dispute right through and that related to an inter-State transaction. The question was whether it was covered by a declaration in Form C with full particulars. S-612. It is admitted that the declaration in C Form was lost in transit and that in spite of time given by the assessing authority, the assessee could not produce it before the assessment was completed. What appears to have been done, however, is that he obtained a photostat copy of the counterfoil of the declaration in Form C issued by the purchasing dealer and produced the same before the Appellate Assistant Commissioner. He disposed of the question by observing that it was only a copy of the counterfoil and not even an authenticated copy of the foil and that there was no provision to accept the C Form at that stage. The Tribunal practically shared this view and said that the declaration in Form C should have been filed within the prescribed time with fu...

It is admitted that the declaration in 'C' form was lost in transit and that in spite of time given by the assessing authority, the assessee could not produce it before the assessment was completed.

Veeramalai Vanniar (Died) and ors. Vs. Thadikara Vanniar and ors.

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jul-07-1967

Reported in: AIR1968Mad383; (1968)1MLJ437

(1) This batch of four appeals arises out of four suits which were tried and disposed of by a common judgment by the learned Subordinate Judge of Tanjore. Appn. No. 199 of 1962 is against the decision in O. S. 29 of 1960, the evidence in which, by consent of parties, was treated as evidence in the other suits. It will be therefore convenient to refer to the rank of the parties and the controversy in that suit, as the decision therein has to simply follow in the other three appeals.(2) The appellant in A. S. 199 of 1962 (hereafter referred to as the appellant) filed the suit, O. S. 29 of 1960, claiming specific performance of an agreement of sale of the suit properties, of an extent of about 11/2 velies, situate in the village Nala Uthamanallur, Tanjore Taluk. The plaintiff's brother is the first defendant and the latter's wife is the second defendant. Minor defendants 1 and 2. Ammaniammal, the sixth defendant, to whom the suit properties belonged died pending suit and on her death her...

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jul-07-1967

Reported in: (1968)1MLJ180

ORDERK. Veeraswami, J.1. Though the petitioners are different, as a common point arose their appeals were heard together by the Tribunal and the petitions directed against the appellate Orders are also posted together. The common point is whether the assessee, who is a commission agent, and therefore, a dealer as defined in the Madras General Sales Tax Act, 1959 is entitled to deduction from the turnover of excise duty paid on the goods by the common principal. That excise duty is deductible from the turnover is not in dispute but the Tribunal took the view that inasmuch as the commission agent was not the person who paid the excise duty, he would not be entitled to ask for deduction under rule 6 of the Madras General Sales Tax Rules, 1959. 2. We are unable to accept that view. The transactions which were put through by the commission agent were really those of the principal and on his behalf. The commission agent will not normally be dealer, but for the purpose of assessment the expre...
